Bug#631997: linux-image-2.6.39-2-486: black screen after grub menu
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.39-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
My computer never boots with 2.6.39-2-486 or 2.6.38. Currently I am running a
custom built 2.6.30 kernel. When I boot with 2.6.39 or 2.6.38 the screen goes
black after I select the kernel in grub. Nothing ever comes up. cntl-alt-f1
does nothing. This happens whether I have modeset=1 or 0. I have a radeon
graphics card.
I just recovered from being dead in the water after upgrading udev because my
kernel was too old. Now, it seems I can't upgrade my kernel. I have an up to
date wheezy box as of a couple of weeks ago. I have had to back down the udev
so that everything is not broke.
